Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and seasonal and night markets, serving quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls.

FAQs for Keyhaven
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you come to a seaside event near Keyhaven?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Keyhaven?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Christmas markets in Keyhaven trade in the dark from about 4:05pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
